Does anyone else agree that it should be highly discouraged to make a 'possible shooter' post until it has actually been confirmed?

I don't think I can recall a candidate for a major office "revoking" press credentials of major news outlets. Like, does he really not understand that he's not running for reality show president, he's running for actual president and these sort of stunts that "get ratings" on TV only further the impression that he's a dangerously impulsive idiot who has no place running for any office, let alone the president of the united states?

Well, I've heard a few theories. One is that they are just grabbing it so they get a better handle on Trump in case he becomes the President. Or they want to help Trump become president, so they are giving him a preview of what he could expect.

If they hand over that file to Trump, who is too thin skinned to even let his own campaign conduct prospective oppo research on him, is going to page through that ream of material, lose his mind and start screaming about a whole bunch of scandals that we didn't know about on Twitter.

As for how it will affect his chances, well it ain't some 20 year old covered up scandal that's getting him slammed everywhere today.

He is an addict on a binge, so the answer to all of the above questions is "Yes". He is not thinking rationally, he is only thinking of what will get him more of his drug. (Attention/Narcissistic Supply in this case.) He will not waste a single moments effort on anything that he does not perceive as being related to acquiring more of his drug at this point, there is no other consideration involved in his decision making process.

Trump wants his drug. Trump will goddamn get his drug and he will do ANYTHING it takes at this point to get more of his drug.

Trump isn't running for President, Trump is using the situation to fed his addiction.

Looking at HRC's Twitter, I'm really uncomfortable with how excited Democrats are to use an extra-judicial list.

I'm for the repeal of the second amendment, but the fact that they're treating "we'll just say something we call a right doesn't apply to people we can choose" like that isn't a big deal is kinda messed up.

I mean, like they give people like Paul Ryan -- who is a complete and total loving fraud -- a pass. Hell Mitt Romney's entire campaign was based around Ryan's fake power point economics, but yes there is a point to it.

Trump is unconventional, but the NARRATIVE has been that is a strength. I think it's really not a strength because instead of making the election about economic issues or Clinton's numerous questionable decisions re: her near paranoia about poo poo, he's unable to offer anything of substance and his gut instinct is to retreat into racism and bigotry.
